Nigel Farage MEP v Russell Brand - Question Time BBC1 22:35 *** Official Match Thread ***

[Blue Valkyrie]

"Farage is a pound shop Enoch Powell"......... Nice one

Best sound bite in a long long time

This was a genius observation

 

[Bold Seagull]

The mental purple haired woman will have been kicked out

"I live in Thanet, and I'm coming for you Farage!!"

 

[atfc village]

A poundland Enoch Powell

 

[LamieRobertson]

Did you hear her?

"Farage, I'm coming for you"

She could just wait in the pub

"I live in Thanet, and I'm coming for you Farage!!"

 

[The Rivet]

Controlled immigration said by anyone other than Farage gets applause. So why do we call Farage and UKIP racist? I'm confused. Not for the first time I might add.

 

[Pavilionaire]

"This man is a Pound Shop Enoch Powell, and we've gotta watch 'im!" Great stuff Brand.

 

[BBassic]

Brand seems out of his depth, not answering the questions just pushing his agendas.

That pound shop jab was bloody brilliant though.

 

[vegster]

Damn ! a debate has broken out.

 

[Soulman]

Brand is somewhat out of his depth. He is courting the invited rent a mob and is a shallow hypocrite. As an aside that woman with the blue hair scared me!....lol

Look at the section of audience right in front of Farage, must be Brands family and mates. Unfortunately the big fella with the walking stick managed to slip into the audience, obviously the producers probably thought he would be anti Farage.
Loaded audience.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Top marks for "The Pound Shop Enoch Powell" and his point that it's not immigrants who stretch resources but lack of funding. Just can't quite exercise enough self control to be effective.

 

[JCL666]

Fight fight fight

 

[The Rivet]

This is great TV.................

Completely agree. I think Farage has spoken a lot of sense here and is one of the only ones who's answered the questions.

 

[vegster]

This is probably the best viewed Question Time for years.

100% this

 

[Beach Hut]

Who was the woman who was told to shut up - the sweary blue rinse person ?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Whys she apologising to Nigel

 

[vegster]

Turning in to My Big Fat Gypsy Argument now.Sorry Nigel.

He's not representing a party or any policies remember, he is just an entertainer…

Farage just repeats the same message. The other two politicians have at least talked in depth about the subject.
